Answer:

Quilt of a Country" is a commentary written by Pulitzer-prize winning author Anna Quindlen following the tragic events of September 11, 2001.

Th metaphor of a quilt is used in this text to symbolize America's diversity. There is a tension in America, which is that, despite citizens being from such different cultural and ethnic backgrounds, they can come together to build a great nation. The argument is that this resembles a "crazy quilt," which in theory should be mismatched because of the differences between its sections, but in practice comes together beautifully.

How does the pacing of this passage affect the reader's interpretation of the text? Select three options. O The flashback to ear
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

  • The slowing of the pace shows readers the cause of the windmill's destruction.
  • The slowing of the pace creates suspense for readers about what is to come.
  • The slowing of the pace gives readers details about the storm and its aftermath.​

Explanation:

Pace is a common tool used by authors to develop the text and this was used in chapter 6 of the Animal Farm. It is the first year since Napoleon chased Snowball from the farm and assumed power and he had began building the Windmill.

The windmill however collapses one night but the pace which the story was slowed down to allowed for suspense to be created as well as for the reader to learn the causes of the windmill's destruction as well as details of the storm and its aftermath.

Tpy6a [65]
I have described myself as always having been imbued with a fervent longing to penetrate the secrets of nature.

In this line, the author is exploring man versus nature. The word or phrase from this passage that best demonstrated the conflict between man and nature is perhaps ‘penetrate’ or specifically ‘penetrate the secrets of nature’.

‘Penetrate’ means to succeed in forcing a way into or through. This signifies that the persona in this passage wants to understand the mysteries that surround nature.
